MediaConch

MediaConch is a handy tool that lets you check if your audiovisual files meet certain rules and standards. This is super useful for both public and private organizations that deal with lots of media files.

Why Use Metadata?

So, why should you care about metadata? Well, it helps clear up different definitions and fix inconsistencies. Plus, it gives you great info about where your data comes from. That's why many developers and companies are looking to create tools for managing metadata and ensuring everything complies with the rules.

How Does MediaConch Work?

With MediaConch, you can check local files or even stuff stored online. It’s super simple! Just pick the file, select the policy, and let the app do its magic on the file's metadata.

A Variety of Policies

This tool comes packed with a ton of policies. You’ve got options like Standard Mismatch (NTSC), Preservation Master File Recommendations for QuickTime and Matroska, or CAVPP Access Video Files. And don’t worry—if you want to tweak these policies, the app lets you duplicate and edit them easily.

Your Results in a Snap

The best part? After checking your file, MediaConch provides a detailed report that's easy to read. You can dive into all sorts of details like implementation, policy settings, media info, and even media trace—all in XML format!

Understanding Your Report

The implementation report tells you if your file or folder is valid based on the policy rules you've picked. You'll find out right away if any part of your information meets or fails standards like FFV1, LPCM, or Matroska.

Your Solution for Audiovisual Data

If you're hunting for a way to document how digital files are structured—especially those packed with audiovisual data—then MediaConch might be just what you need!
